To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRITZ VILHELu FRI- DERICHSEN, a citizen of Denmark, residing at Copenhagen, Denmark, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Food Products, (for which I have obtained the following patents: in Denmark, No. 210, dated October 14, 1895; in Norway, No. 4,559, dated July 9, 1895; in Sweden, No. 7,471, dated June .22, 1895; in Germany, No. 84,299, dated June -5, 1895; in France, No. 248,677, dated July 5, 1895; in Belgium, No. 116,387, dated July 3, 1895; in England, No. 13,176, dated July 8, 1895, and No. 23,066, dated December 2, 1895-, in Austria, No. 3,308/45, dated September 15,1895; in Hungary, No. 6,008, dated Julylfl, 1895; in Spain, No. 18,049/131, dated October 2, 1895; in Italy, No. 39,886/195, dated October 3, 1895; in Luxemburg, No. 2,390, dated October 1, 1895; in Finland, No. 641, dated August 5,1896; in Canada, No. 50,232, dated October 11, 1895, and No. 55,011, datedFcbruary 16, 1897; in New Zealand,

' No. 8,141, dated December 1-1, 1895; in Victoria, No. 122,709, dated December 4, 1895; in Tasmania, No. 1,528, dated December-6, 1895; in New South Wales, No. 6,245, dated DcccmberG, 1895; in South Australia, No. 3,106, dated December 5, 1895,) of which the following is a specification.

The present invention consists in a new article of manufacture adapted for ".so' as food for cattle. 'llcrctoforc various attempts have been made to use blood in food for cattle, but such mixtures deteriorated rapidly. I have found that ircacle or molasses forms a very eilicicnt preservative for blood, and I therefore produce a materially-improved food com pound by combining blood and trcaclo or its equivalent with a suitable absorbent body. The use of the aforesaid preserving material adords a further advantage in so far as trencle in such a compound in'itself forms-a 1 excellent nutritive substance for cattle. lFor this reason the mixture of blood and treacle or the like alone without the absorbent body is available as food for cattle.

According to my invention the improved forage is manufactured by adding a suitable quantity of treacle (about twenty-four r cent. has proved an excellent proportion to the blood and then allowing this mixture to. be absorbed by one or more of the ordinary kinds of forage commonly used in the trade, said forage forming the body of the product. The latter may then be formed intocakes or into a coarse powder by kneading, pressing, and drying. The quantity of the forage added to the uiood and treacle mixture may be regulated in such a way that the final product contains nitrogen, fat, and carbohydrates in suitable proportions. The preserving property of treacle or molasses in connection with blood is due not only to the sugar contained in the treaclc, but to a great extent to the other substances contained in the molasses, such as amids and organic alkaline salts. Thus while an addition of ten per cent. of sugar will not preserve blood even for one week an addition of molasses corresponding to the above-mentioned proportion of sug'ar will keep blood from putrefactionfor years.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The herein-described food product, containing blood, treacle, and a suitablc absorb- 5 cnt body, as set forth.

2.- The herein-described food product, containing blood and treacle, substantially as8o described. j

Intostimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention 1' have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
